Monday was something of a landmark, as the 500th Haskell package was
added to the Arch Linux distribution.
I've written about the approach we took to fully automating the
construction of native packages from Hackage,
http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/blog/2008/08/21#the_500
As well as a survey of 10 cool packages that are a little unknown.
And some fun stats. On Hackage we have:
* 723 unique packages
* Over a million lines of Haskell code
* 2600 pages of API documentation
And in Arch, there are:
6 Erlang packages
21 OCaml packages
28 Lisp packages
101 Ruby packages
495 Python packages
and now,
504 Haskell packages
:)
